The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
This week, we’ve seen an awesome food typography series and a bunch of food idioms. Now, those concepts are together in one handy post.
Artist Ilona Samcewicz-Parham created Hungry Workshop — a series of food typography that’s used to spell out popular food idioms. More can be seen below and over on Instagram.

“Hey, your peanut butter and chocolate are in my burger!” That’ll never get old with the Reese PBC — a burger topped and stuffed with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
The culinary monstrosity is brought to us by Ontario burger chain, The Works, and was made to help celebrate National Nut Day. Perhaps because this is nuts? Or, you’d be a nut to even think about eating one of these?
Just ’cause we’re nuts, we’re celebrating #NationalNutDay by stuffing & stacking our Reese PBC with @ReesesPBCupspic.twitter.com/rFiUCZgBW5

Although nobody appreciates being teased with delicious-looking food that’s actually inedible — when it’s done in the name of awesome food art, we’ll let it slide.
Artists Benjamin Henon and Valentine Mazel teamed up for this fun series of food art. Using everyday objects such as sponges and shoelaces — the objects are positioned to appear as though we’re about to have lunch. Big tease!

Who would’ve ever thought that letting kids around Gordon Ramsay was a good idea? However, on MasterChef Junior, where aspiring young cooks perform for the yelly foul-mouthed Brit, Ramsay actually shows signs of being quite magnanimous and nurturing.
However, because the internet exists, YouTube member Sam Wilber shows us what it would look like if Ramsay spoke to these impressionable kids, the same way that he emotionally destroys adults. This video shouldn’t be as funny as it is… but it is.
NSFW language ahead…
